Sleep. Sleep tonight.
And may your dreams
Be realized.
If the thunder cloud
Passes rain,
So let it rain.
Rain down on him.
Mmm, mmm, mmm
So let it be.
Mmm, mmm, mmm
So let it be.
These simple lyrics penned by four young fellas from Ireland a few decades ago comprise one of the most beautiful and haunting lullabies I have ever heard. It has always been a song that I have loved. And so, "MLK" by U2 is the best way I can think of to pay tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr. on this day. Here's to the man and his optimistic dream. I too hope that someday it might in fact be realized, because, sadly, I don't think we're there yet.
What a nice tribute. :)
